I thought I would share our Saturday with you! Today was the first fairly normal Saturday since we got here three weeks ago. We have been so busy moving in and getting weekend errands done. Now, we are hitting our Saturday stride!
We had a good start by heading down to the Four Seasons LA Fitness Center for a workout. This gym came highly recommended to me as the best place in the city for triathletes to swim. The pool is a saline pool...it has no chlorine!!!! After an hour, we headed back to get our day on the way.
After walking the pups, we headed out to a suburb called Daly City. This is where most of the downtowners go when they need to hit places like Costco, Home Depot, Target etc. The shopping in downtown is great...if you are looking for "fashion", high end furniture or $2 whiskey liquor stores.. However, if you need paper towels, 24 packs of hot dog buns or paint brushes, most people rent a Zip Car or take their own cars out to Daly City. It has been a mad house both times we went!
We then spent the afternoon putting the living room together. Our furniture had trickled in over the week and we had to get things pulled together. Even though the room is 16 by 25 or so, we moved the stuff like 12,278 times before we got it right (my idea...right!). I will post a photo when we get the pictures hung and the like.
The dogs are so happy to have furniture to hang out on. It was a pain for them over the last few weeks as we really had no furniture for them to lay around on. They had to resort (oh, the horror!!!) to laying on dog pillows on the floor.
Christine and I have decided to hit a new restuarant every Saturday. There are so many great places to eat within five minutes of our humble palace.
Today we went to a place called Zuni's Cafe...here is the link to the site... http://www.zunicafe.com/ We both had perhaps the best hambuger we have had in a while (no Red Robins close) and washed them down with fresh lime squeezed margharitas. I won't lie...it was realllllly tasty! (Lynda, yes, you are still the best bartender ever!...we texted you as we were sipping one...pictured below!)
So, that was our day.
The next post will come Tuesday or so. Mr. Wendell wants to tell you about he and Pepper's recent visit to the vet. BTW, Google has changed up some of the templates on the Blogspot product. The spacing and other formatting is giving me a bit of a challenge...sorry for the odd look.

Well, it sounds like you guys are finally settling in and getting into the stride of city life.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that the pups have real furniture now. I think they were getting concerned that they have to spend their time on "dog" pillows on the "floor." That would have been just unheard of! Can't wait to see pictures.
We're extremely jealous with how close shopping, restaurants and entertainment are to you. Now, that's real living. Dee and Bill
